Pitt Beats AHS NCS Bound by: Lamonte Love After beating Antioch, 19-14, Pittsburg was NCS bound, after a 5-year absence from the play off. This year was a big difference from the past years of the Big Little Game. The difference was that the game was played on a dry field - something the Pirates had hoped for all week. Also this was a year that the Pirates would not be denied a play off berth. This game we played for respect, Jason Walker commented. Yeah, also we played to show no one counts us out of the playoffs. Antioch never had a chance as the Pirates defense rose to every occasion, especially on a 4th and 1 situation when they stopped Brian Hill, the DVAL's leading rusher, whom they held to QQ yards rushing on the day. But along with the defense the offense also played its part with Donald Ray Hines leading all rushers with a 104 yards rushing, 70 yards coming on a touchdown. 1.

JV's End On Good Note by: Lamonte Love Although thejunior varsity posted a 5-5 over-all record, they ended the season on a good note by beating Antioch, 31 -26. The season began with a bang as they had a very impressive showing at the season opening scrimmage in Sacramento against 3 teams. But, there were many surprises as league play approached. Even though the JV's started the season on a high note, the opening of the league was a different tone, as they recorded their first loss in the last 3 years. lt was a heart breaking loss for the team because they played hard enough to win, Coach Herc Pardi remarked. This year's team displayed not only talent but also they showed hard work and enthusiasm that stayed all through the year. They always gave a 100W:.H One of the bright spots was the defense led by Robert Hosmer, Craig Pineda and Joe Caspers who were the heart of the defense. Hosmer and Pineda accounted for 127 tackles with Hosmer having 43 unassisted and 128 assisted. Pineda had 43 unassisted and QQ assisted. DVAL's 41 offense was led by running back, James Gardner who led the team in rushing with 809 yards on 193 carries and 10 touchdowns. The offense also possessed the best passing combination in the DVAL with Jim Jacobsen and Charles Guy, who had Q4 catches for 498 yards and 5 touchdowns. 1. J.V.
